Definitions

  • This invention relates to so-called electrorheological (ER) fluids, which are also known as electric field responsive fluids.
  • ER electrorheological
  • ER fluids were first described by Winslow in 1947, and have since been the subject of several patents. ER fluids are slurries of finely divided solids in a base liquid which have the property of increasing their flow resistance when they are exposed to an electric field. This change is roughly proportional to the electric field, reversible and virtually instantaneous. Although the voltages employed are high (typically up to 4 kV/mm), the total electric power is very low, so ER fluids offer a valuable interface between solid-state electronic control and a very wide range of mechanical devices.
  • Winslow used silica gel; more recently, ionic polymers, such as alginic acid, polymethacrylic acid and phenolformaldehyde resins have been used, usually as salts. Similarly, a wide range of base liquids have been used. Winslow's original ER fluids were based on hydrocarbon transformer oil. More recently, synthetic halogenated materials have been used.
  • the base liquid must make as active an ER fluid as possible.
  • the activity i.e., the extent of the change in flow properties brought about by application of an electric field
  • ER fluids made with the same solid and different base liquids varies markedly.
  • the final ER fluid should be as active as possible.
  • the density of the base liquid should be as nearly equal as possible to that of the solid, to prevent the latter settling out.
  • the density of the solids used in most ER fluids at present is about 1400k9/cu.m, so this should be regarded as an approximate target for the density of the base oil.
  • the base liquid should be chemically stable in the special circumstances of an ER fluid, so that the material has a long service and shelf life.
  • the base liquid should have a wide liquid temperature range i.e. a low freezing point and a high boiling point.
  • the base liquid should not be flammable, or at least burn only with difficulty.
  • the base liquid should have a low viscosity, so that the no-field viscosity of the ER fluid itself is low.
  • the base liquid should not attack normal engineering materials. Relatively few liquids attack metals in normal use, but many attack plastics, and particularly the elastomers used in oil seals. This is clearly undesirable in a fluid which will be used in engineering.
  • the base liquid should be an effective lubricant in its own right.
  • the base liquid should not have any adverse biological effects.
  • the base liquid should be odourless; there is a natural suspicion among potential users of unfamiliar smells, and many people are very sensitive to them.
  • Halogenated diphenyl methanes. (and related compounds). These appear to be less mutagenic than the PCB's and have a suitable density. The liquid range can be extended, and the viscosity reduced, by mixing suitable related compounds. Materials chemically related to the PCB's such as these are inevitably suspect as regards, biological activity; not all have been tested. All these liquids attack normal engineering elastomers; only materials such as ⁇ Viton ⁇ can be used.
  • Halogenated mixed ethers These were developed in an attempt to make a cheaper version of (i) above, with a longer liquid range. Typically, these have a highly halogenated aromatic ⁇ head ⁇ , such as pentachlorophenyl, and an aliphatic ⁇ tail ⁇ , such as N-octyl. These have many of the advantages and disadvantages of the diphenyl methanes.
  • Halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbons (iii) Halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbons. Attempts have been made to use, for example, chlorinated paraffins in ER fluids. These can give active fluids, and are regarded as much less dangerous biologically than the aromatic compounds. However, it is well known that such compounds undergo slow hydrolysis under alkaline conditions, liberating hydrochloric acid.
  • the solids in ER fluids are normally salts of a strong base (e.g., lithium hydroxide) and a weak acid, and are therefore alkaline; they also contain adsorbed water. Furthermore, the large surface area of the solid provides an ideal surface for such reactions to take place. These materials are therefore suspect in service and storage.
  • halogenated hydrocarbons are either non-flammable or burn only with difficulty. Many have strong and unpleasant smells to which many people are sensitive, and some have noticeable anaesthetic properties, which could be dangerous in a confined space.
  • Perfluorinated Polyethers A typical example is "Fomblin" supplied in various grades by Montedison. These are very dense (typically 1800-1900 kg/cu.m), and immiscible with everthing except other fluorinated materials such as Freons. Attempts to use these in ER fluids have been failures.
  • CTFE Poly-Chlorotrifluorethylenes
  • Fluorosilicones do not appear to have been widely used as base liquids for ER fluids. Simple silicone oils have been tested; ER fluids based on them have similar properties to those based on hydrocarbons, namely poor density matching and low activity.
  • ER fluids based on undiluted commercial fluorosilicones are highly active, but unsuitable for practical use, since the base liquid is too viscous and has too low a density. Both these defects could in theory be reduced by mixing the fluorosilicone oil with CTFE. However, the commercial materials are immiscible at normal temperatures.
  • an electro-rheological fluid comprising a hydrophilic solid and a hydrophobic liquid component wherein the hydrophobic liquid component comprises a fluorosilicone whose average molecular weight is in the range 200-700.
  • CTFE has been known to explode in contact with aluminium or magnesium alloys under ⁇ galling ⁇ conditions (e.g. in screw threads), but this can be avoided.
  • CTFE will not burn at all; LMFS has a very high flashpoint, and can be considered non-flammable in normal use.
  • the mixture has a low viscosity, of the order of 20 mPa.s.
  • LMFS has no detectable odour; CTFE can be detected only with difficulty, and to all intents and purposes the mixture is odourless.
  • this mixture seems uniquely suited for use as the base liquid of ER fluids.
  • the base liquid further comprises at least one further hydrophobic liquid selected from the group halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons (apart from derivatives of diphenyl methane and related diaryl materials and mixed aromatic ethers, both of which are claimed in earlier patents), halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbons or fluorinated polymers.
  • the at least one further hydrophobic liquid may be a polymer of trifluorovinyl chloride.
  • the density of the hydrophobic liquid component at 20 C. is preferably between 1200 and 1800 kg/cu.m. It is preferred for the solid component to comprise starch or silica gel. Alternatively the solid component may comprise an organic polymer containing free or at least partially salified acid groups.
  • the solid component may comprise a homo- or co-polymer of monosaccharide or other alcohol.
  • the solid component may comprise a co-polymer composed of a phenol, which may be wholly or partially salified, and an aldehyde.
  • the volume fraction of the solid comonent is preferably from 20% to 60% by volume.
  • the hydrophilic solid is preferably in the form of particles having diameters in the range 1 to 50 microns.
  • the material is a mixture of linear and cyclic polysiloxanes, primarily methyl trifluoropropyl siloxanes.
  • the linear chains have trimethylsilyl end groups.
  • the cyclic polysiloxanes consist mainly of cyclotetrasiloxanes, with cyclotri-,cyclopenta- and cyclohexasiloxanes.
  • Fluorolube FS-5 is available from Hooker Chemical Corporation U.S.A.
